4.2pre-whatever builds OK on VMS

[Ethan A M. <merritt@u.washington.edu>]

I've just built and tested the current cvs version on VMS.
I can't test x11 because it's a remote machine with no X connection
available, but 'all.dem' run through 'set term post color solid'
looks almost perfect.  

Only two glitches:
1) There are some spurious <null> characters at the end of each
page of PostScript output.  Perhaps some buffer flush oddity.
2) The column-stacked histogram demo has some missing boxes.
I vaguely recall encountering that once before, but I can't
remember what it turned out to be.  Maybe some browsing through
ChangeLog.

Anyhow, given the huge number of changes since the last time
I did a full build and test under VMS, I'm amazed how smooth it was.
Somebody with a local box would have to test the x11 support,
however.
